Default Re: Building an emergency fund with little income

when i was starting out....wow! i would have killed or $60 saving after 6 months or so.
what i was doing was saving $ and what was left over i was putting it towards electricty, the only thing i really needed.
over time though, i was able to build a little, and then a little more....and before yoiu knew it, i had saved enough emergency fund for 1 month of rent!!! i was sooooo relaxed after that! it was awesome, just knowing that if anything happened, i was not screwed and going to live under a bridge, and had at least a month to live in my place before i was in trouble.
then i saved 1 month rent and utilities...that was even better!!
and so on and so on....i am not THAT well off, but i have peace of mind at least!!
best of luck to you, i know things will work out for ya!! just keep on keepin on
